{"product_id":"pirate-ship","title":"Pirate Ship (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePirate Ship\u003c\/em\u003e is a five-mana blue 4\/3 creature originally printed in \u003cem\u003eAlpha\u003c\/em\u003e (1993), that can be tapped to have it deal 1 damage to any target. \u003cem\u003ePirate Ship\u003c\/em\u003e can’t attack unless the defending player controls an Island, and must be sacrificed when you control noIslands. It’s one of the first true “Pirate” cards in Magic, long before the tribe was developed. The requirement for Islands and its sacrifice clause make it feel like a literal ship stranded at sea when the tides turn- classic early Magic storytelling through mechanics. Tapping \u003cem\u003ePirate Ship\u003c\/em\u003e to let it deal 1 damage is a simple yet useful ability back in 1993, giving blue a way to “shoot things”, which was unusual for the color. This made \u003cem\u003ePirate Ship\u003c\/em\u003e one of the first blue creatures with a repeatable damage ability. It has never been a competitive card, and was quickly outclassed by more efficient cards like \u003cem\u003eSerendib Efreet\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAir Elemental\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003ePirate Ship\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List, and has already been reprinted in \u003cem\u003eTime Spiral\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762008846381,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Pirate_Ship_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126413","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/pirate-ship","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
